Perinthalmanna: When the final score board of the Calicut University C-zone arts festival, 2011, was shown at Angadipuram SNDP YSS College, the students of SAFI Institute of Advanced Study stood seventh! It was in a list of 125 colleges in the district, competing with colleges who have thousands of students and decades of experience. PSMO College won the overall championship at C-zone. The arts festival was a sweet experience for most of the participants from SIAS, no matter the results of each item. About 111 students participated in various off-stage and stage programmes. The performance in off-stage programmes was very encouraging, as the college stood second or third for a long spell of time, when the results were being announced, one by one.
